Indie devs are overrated. A lot of the highly praised titles really aren't that good. Super Meat Boy and Retro Boring As Hell City Rampage for example, but then you got some of them that are actually extremely good, with more examples, games like Jamestown, Cave Story, Bit.Trip. games and (from what I've heard,) Torchlight, as long as you're into the genres . The name indie for indie devs also makes no sense. Large publishers like Sony, Microsoft, Nintendo, EA, Activision, are indie devs while most indie devs actually aren't indie devs.
Indie is short for independent. Larger publishers don't need loans in order to create games. They are what you would call independent. They should probably call most indie devs now days Depenees or something like that, because 90% of them are either funded by one of the larger publishers or they beg for money on Kickstarter from the consumer base. There are actual indie devs, but most indie devs aren't actually indie devs.
